In jewellery, as in fashion, shapes and trends are subject to constant change. What was unfashionable just a moment ago can be all the rage again the very next. This phenomenon can also be seen in the development of Art Deco. While cool platinum undisputedly dominated the world of jewelry in the 1920s and early 1930s, colored gold made an astonishing comeback from around 1935. In the course of the so-called retro style, which was worn from the 1930s to the 1950s, the once delicate shapes also became much more voluminous and gave the jewellery an expressive presence. This ring clearly demonstrates this change in material and shape. It has an almost sculptural design and boasts fabulous opulence and great splendor. Three old-cut diamonds are set in the center of the design. They are set in powerful prong settings and are accompanied at the top and bottom by powerful agraffes with further diamonds. The five old-cut diamonds together weigh around 1.30 ct, with the center stone alone weighing around half a carat. The ring itself consists of wires made of 18-karat yellow gold and white gold, which run parallel to each other to form an openwork, wide band. The design was created additively from individual shapes; each individual part can be experienced individually, and yet together they form a powerful whole that is under tension and seems to seethe with inner energy. The ring was created in Germany in the 1950s using older diamonds. It came to us here in Berlin. The previous owner had two beads set into the ring band so that the pleasantly heavy ring does not turn when worn.
